WHATS BEEF? Hip hop feuds have existed since soon after hip hop music began. Such rivalries originate with gang rivalries, drug gang wars, and the culture of competitiveness in inner city American neighborhoods. Originally, at block parties, DJs would play records and isolate the percussion breaks for the dancing masses. Soon, MCs began speaking over the beats, usually simply to keep the audience dancing. Eventually, MCs began incorporating more varied and stylistic speech and focused on introducing themselves, shouting out to friends in the audience, boasting about their own skills, and criticizing their rivals. Throughout hip hop history weve seen many battles between artists so this week on Hip Hop Culture we will reflect back on some of the greatest battles in hip hop history. #Misunderstood
